My 1750 list for upcoming game vs Deamons

[polkadragon]

This is for an upcoming game vs Daemons, although I don't really want to tailor it against them. Compared to my previous list, I've dropped a Harpy and the Doom of Malanthai and some options on the Tervigons, to be able to add 2 DakkaFexes.

I feel like running a tyrant with wings as the only fast thing in your list is kind of a waste. Aside from that though this is a decent list just take the center of the board turn 1 and gun them down as they come in

[polkadragon]

You have a point, in my previous army list, the Hive Tyrant paired up with a Harpy for a double flying threat, but found that the Harpy was too situational, so I cut him out.

If I was tailoring this as an anti-Daemon list, I'd probably drop the Flyrant and use the points for some more Dakka. But since I want to keep it as take-all-comers as possible, I'll keep him in for now.

I only regret having to cut the Doom of Malanthai, since he didn't perform that badly previously, and might be good vs Daemons. Still I feel double DakkaFexes might do better in general?

I would drop the wings make them both Armoured Shelded and give them both Toxin Sacs for the rerolls to wound. You don't need the Flyrant speed with this FOC, it actually just turns your flyrant into a 285 pt target with no return.

Flyrant will survive S8 AP2 a lot better than armoured shell and also cannot be assaulted by any of their rending or power weapons, making him still valid.

Just use him to deny areas of the board, such as swooping turn 1 to cut off a corner from their deepstriking.
